Chin Augmentation

Overview

Chin Augmentation Surgery is a cosmetic surgery common among men and women. It is one of the safest, most effective, and efficient operations that achieve balance and proportion in the face and give a younger appearance.

It is sometimes considered a necessary plastic procedure to correct congenital limitations, growth anomalies, and deformities caused by traumatic accidents, such as the retraction of the lower jaw or an aesthetic flaw in the chin shape. In addition, it helps those patients increase their self-confidence.

Am I a suitable candidate for this operation?

Chin Augmentation Operation is suitable for:

  • People who have lost their chin shape resulting from exposure to an accident.
  • People who don't like the shape of their chin.
  • Individuals who don't have consistency between their facial features.

On the other hand, it is not suitable for:

  • People with severe health problems.
  • Overweight people.
  • Cigarette smokers.
Techniques used in Chin Augmentation Operation

chin Augmentation Operation works mainly by two techniques:

Chin implant surgery:

chin implant is the most common technique of chin augmentation operation. It is performed under general or local anesthesia. The incision is made either through the mouth or under the chin. The results of chin implant surgery appear immediately after the end of the surgery.

Chin augmentation with fillers:

Chin augmentation with fillers is a non-surgical technique similar to cheek augmentation with filler injection. This method is recommended for people who have a problem with their small chin, which can improve with a filler injection to adjust the chin's shape without surgery. The chin augmentation results with fillers are temporary but usually last up to 12 months.

Stages of Chin Augmentation Operation
Perioperative

Before the Chin Augmentation surgery, the patient visits the surgeon to discuss different surgical procedures. For best results, the surgeon will first take a picture of the patient's face to analyze the overall shape and determine the chin's condition.

Several instructions should be followed:

  • Complete medical examinations are performed on the patient.
  • The patients should tell the doctor if they are allergic to any medicine.
  • The patient must stop smoking two days before the surgery.
  • The patient should not take any medication before the surgery without the doctor's advice.
Intraoperative

Chin Augmentation Surgery is performed in several steps:

  • Anesthesia: chin aesthetics usually require general anesthesia for the patient.
  • Make the surgical incision: the patient agrees with the doctor on where the surgical incision is made for chin surgery. This incision is usually straightforward, discreet, and recovers quickly. Sometimes the surgical incision is made through the mouth.
  • Operation procedure: the operations are carried out according to the patient's condition. Implants are inserted into the front of the chin to highlight the chin bone to enlarge the chin.
  • Surgical incision closure: closing the surgical incision, then putting on bandages.

After the patient's recovery, the doctor removes the bandages to see the results.

Postoperative

Patients should take several precautions in the postoperative period:

  • Take a complete rest after the surgery and elevate your head while sleeping for two weeks.
  • Eat soft and liquid food and avoid hard food that requires effort to chew for 2 or 4 days.
  • Avoid heavy exercise for at least two weeks after surgery.
  • Take pain relievers prescribed by the doctor when needed.
  • Do not smoke for up to two weeks after the surgery.

How to enhance the chin and jawline area?

Usually, patients perform chin augmentation surgery alone. However, chin augmentation can be combined with other procedures to enhance the shape of the face.

  • Rhinoplasty with chin augmentation: chin augmentation with nose reshaping surgery is one of the most fundamental combinations that can achieve better results for both of them.
  • Neck liposuction with chin augmentation: those two procedures are usually performed in patients with excessive fullness under the chin. Removing excess fat from the neck and strengthening the chin can improve the appearance of the lower part of the face and neck.
